The images are not stitched. The process for creating the postcard blocks is called photo transfer. The postcard images were loaded into a computer where DRH worked his Photoshop magic removing flaws, postmarks and writing. The images were then printed on specially treated fabric using an inkjet printer, creating a unique piece of fabric.
The postcards were selected from the vast assortment found under "Postcards" on this site. I went through all of the postcards and selected 9 to make a trip around the lake with the MV Mt. Washington in the center.
The quilt is 42.5 inches square and 100% cotton. It was an interesting project to do and certainly unique. It has a label that states that it is the Official ForumFest IV Quilt.
